There is no easy way to approach death. Avoid it and it will haunt you. Confront it and are you seeking immortality? Perhaps by accepting it and seeing death as wonderful as its partner - birth - we can lessen the pain of loss. ••• If there is one constant in life, it is that we have to understand mortality. We ponder the timing and the circumstance, especially if we engage in activities that bring us a heightened sense of awareness through danger. Each moon, with its eternal cycling, brings a sliver of wisdom. The ancients recognized this and if we step out of the buildings that contain us we are open to question our existence. The process of aging forces us to make peace with death. Our existence is, after all, fleeting and so very short. ••• During the first few months of 2018 friends, close and far have left the physical. For those, like Lama Geshe and Liz Hawley (both of Nepal) it was after a life well lived. Our bodies gives in to the daily struggle with gravity. We celebrate the life they lived. For Jim Bridwell, master and diviner of Yosemite Walls we wished another decade - so that we could be inspired by his vision. For Ann Krcik, struck by cancer, we mourn the wanton choice of death. There was so much more to do. She was a leader. For Ryan Johnson and Marc Andre LeClerc, gone in the prime of their life while pursuing their passion we question the value of adventure and risk. And those left standing, we that ply the same seas as Marc and Ryan, we feel the weight of being a survivor. With the passing of Dr. Stephen Hawking, our generation’s leader in the cosmos focusing on gravity and black holes, we are reminded of our human potential. After experiencing zero G in a jet Dr. Hawking said of the risky endeavor , “I want to show that people need not be limited by physical handicaps as long as they are not disabled in spirit.” ••• We are in this together. We have but a brief time to reach for self actualization and in the process make the world a friendlier and happier place. Let us not mourn death, let it be our inspiration. ??????
